Simple dinner with added lively flavors of mint, basil, and chives

Our favorite crabapple tree in full bloom…the first sign that dining alfresco is finally here.




The zucchini side is from David Tanis' Heart of the Artichoke Zucchini Antipasto minus the fresh mozzarella.
 I wanted to keep it light and let the fresh mint, basil, chives and lemon juice stand out so I omitted the mozzarella and instead added a few crumbles of fresh feta to the spring mix salad.
The swordfish is prepared with olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt, pepper, and grilled over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side.
